hey any one got an idea why i cant manage to disable my hotkeys in windows?
the alt and some other ones keep on crashing my mame
i tried adding the NoHotKeys in regedit but still they are on
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
Value Name: NoWinKeys
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
restarted to comp and still same thing the Alt is still going to the top menus and all :\
Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
any one have any suggestions for me ?

The hotkeys might be in your processor or graphics card. Open the interface and check it there.

excuse my ignorance but what interface are you talking about?
and how can my graphic card or processor be responsible for explorer hotkeys? ???

Most video cards have the hotkeys CTRL+ALT+direction to rotate the screen.
It's a common issue and pretty confusing for someone who doesn't know how to make it rotate back. :lol
Sometimes that can be disabled in the software that came with the video card.
If I ever get around to writing a noobs guide, I'm going to dedicate an entire page to convince them to abandon the default key mappings. ;D
There are workarounds for all the issues they cause, but it's a lot simpler just to use different keys.

i already remapped the keys not to use alt at all
but its just driving me nuts that i cant find a way to disable them.

The graphics card doesn't get any input from the kayboard. It has to be in the driver for the operating system.
